CORSET.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters'Patent No. 319,676, dated June 9, 1885.

Application filed January 12, 1885.

To aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MORITZ OoHN, of New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented a new Improvement in Corsets; and I do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection with accompanying drawings and the letters of reference marked thereon, to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, and which said drawings constitute part of this specification, and represent, in-

Figure 1, a face view of one-half the corset complete; Fig. 2, a transverse section showing the manner of introducing the woven sections; Fig. 3, a face view of the continuous strip from which the woven sections are out;

Fig. 4., a transverse section of the strip.

This invention relates to an improvementin the manufacture of corsets, the object being, to economically weave certain portions complete and ready for introduction into the corset, combined with cut sections,whereby the shape is given to the corset; and the invention consists in a corset having alternate sections made from a strip of woven material, of equal width throughout, and with the pockets formed in the process of weaving, combined with intermediate sections cut from two thicknesses of fabric, in form to give the requisite shape to the corset, the edges of the said woven sections being introduced between the edge of the two-thickness section and stitched therein, the pockets in the two-thickness sections formed 'by parallel lines of stitches, as more fully hereinafter described.

I first weave a continuous strip of material of a predetermined width, and in the process of weaving form pockets therein to receive bones or stays. A face view of such a continuous strip is shown in Fig. 3transverse section, Fig. 4. The two edges a a are woven solid and selvaged. From this strip I cut lengths for certain sections or portions of the corset, (represented as A, B, and O in Fig. 1.) The back or eyelet strip, 1), is made of double thickness, in'the usual manner. The sections E F G are cut from two thicknesses of fabric,in the usual manner of cutting sections of a corset, and so that the entire fullness of the corset is made in these out sections E F G.

In making up the corset the sections A, B,

(No model.)

| and C are introduced, one edge between the thicknesses of one section and the other edge between the two thicknesses of the corresponding edge of the next section,- and stitched thereto by lines of stitches run adjacent to the edge of the said out or double thicknesses. The solid edge a of the woven section serves as an interlying part of the woven sections, and through which the stitches may be readily run. These woven sections are introduced alternately with cut sections, as seen in Figs. 1 and 2.

The pockets are formed in the cut sections, in the usual manner, by running parallel lines of stitches in the direction in which the stays are to be introduced. In the woven section the stays are introduced in the pockets, which are formed in the process of weaving.

, The corset is bound at the top and bottom, in the usual manner.

By weaving these alternate sections of equal width, with pockets and solid edges, I am enabled to produce a continuous strip, from which lengths may be out, according to the position the part is to occupy in the corset. This makes a great saving in material over what could be in a cut section, even were the cut sections of equal width throughout, for the reason that,the interlying portion of these sections being woven with a solid and selvage edge, the lines of stitches may be run very much closer to the edge of the woven sections than they could be to the edge of a out section, and there is no liability of the woven sections pulling from the cut sections, as out sections will do, owing to the raw edge of such cut sections.

I am aware that corsets have been made having sections cut to shape from a woven material,and in which parallel pockets are formed in theprocess of weaving, as in Patent N o. 310, 798, and therefore do not broadly claim a corset having such a section or sections, the essential feature of my invention being a corset having alternate sections of woven material, each of said alternate sections woven in equal width throughout, and so as to produce a sel vage edge, with parallel pockets for the bones formed in the process of weaving.

I claim- A corset composed of alternate sections formed from a strip of wovenmateriad having the two thicknesses thereof and stitched thereselvage edges, and of equal width throughout, to,' substantially as described. and with pockets formed therein in the process of weaving, combined with intermediate MORITZ COHN' 5 sections cut from two thicknesses of fabric, Witnesses:

the edges of the said woven sections intro- LEWIS L. PIERCE,
